For Info : Bryn Bright replace the late John Kahn on Double Bass.... In the 70's a Vinyl LP was released and make a real success, but contract and royalty problems between the band & Grateful Dead Records (which own the recording rights), cause the very brief existence of the band... Grisman & Garcia never talked to each other during the next 17 years....sadly
Strange, I know this song for most of my life now, the way the Stones played it and later I discovered the Gram Parsons version, but somehow this sounds more like it is the original. So natural and easy going.
Also... Jerry Garcia played the Banjo & Vocals in Old And In The Way. It was a great group.. Garcia, Grisman (mandolin), Rowan (guitar), Clements (fiddle), Kahn (bass). One of the best Bluegrass groups ever in my opinion. Old And In The Way and Hot Rize are my two favs. Doesnt get much better than this right here.
I met both Peter Rowan and Vassar Clements. Such nice fellows. I remember that they both seemed to smile a genuine little smile behind their polite candor.
Vassar was such a nice person - I had a chance to meet him back stage many a year ago and I was crushed when he passed on. A soulful performance by all with tears wetting my cheeks.
Made me remember Rudy Cipolla and the Book Nook :-) Almost made it to 100!
That's not a "stunt double" That's David Grisman. THey played with each other often. They were in this band "Old and In the Way" together around 75. THey also collaborated a lot in the 90's on some of my favorite albums. Check out Garcia Grisman (Self titled) or Shady Grove. Great suff. BTW. Grisman has always had a long white beard. I understand what you were thinking, but there's nothing crass, just bluegrass. :)
On America's Got Talent tonight - Susan Boyle singing Wild Horses. Mick Jagger would be proud. But it still doesn't beat this beautiful bluegrass rendition by Old and in the Way that is the world's BEST male vocalist and my singing idol, Mr. Peter Rowan singing lead. God bless Peter Rowan!
I was at this concert. It concluded the Merlefest that year. Yeah Jerry was gone and so was John Kahn on bass, but this was primo anyway. Peter's always great, Vassar was in a class by himself, and David Grisman is one of the best. Bryn Bright pretty damn good too.
this is one of the best shows ive ever seen. so glad i got to go.

After reading all of the comments, I want to add that this lineup did a recording under the name of "Old & In The Gray."

this makes me cry as much as the the version by the Jerry-led line-up in the '70s. So sweetly melancholy and soulful and plaintive.
Beats the pants off the Stones version, which to my ear was always No Big Deal

The banjo here isn't as soulful as Jerry stuff - the total sound is not as full. Jerry did a great solo on this - there's no banjo solo on here.
